The illegal hardwood is not used for residential framing or sheathing. It has nothing to do with fire resistance or insurance.

Most illegal wood is not hardwood.

What is not to say that most of the wood in the US is illegal. It's probably a small share. But some of your houses do pretty much chop forests down. (And your government does help fight that, but it's hard to completely stop it.)
